However, in an audio which has gone viral, the controversial lawmaker said Ahmed’s family want to tarnish his image after the death of the investigative journalist.

“What have I said to irritate anyone? I don’t understand. Nobody can threaten me, I would not allow myself to be accused of something I know nothing about.

“They cannot threaten me by using this stupid paper. This guy who did the press conference is stupid, this is about a dead person and you go around organising a silly press conference. I am not scared of anyone," Kennedy Agyapong said.

Agyapong has been linked to the death of Ahmed who was murdered in cold blood on January 16, 2019.

Ahmed was one of Tiger Eye journalists whose photographs, Agyapong circulated in his 'Who watches the watchman' anti-Anas video documentary and called on the public to deal with him for a handsome reward.
